Tree Stake Solutions LLC - Below Ground Safety Stake

The ROOT ANCHOR™ Underground Tree Staking System installs in seconds to create a professional sub-surface tree support secured deep into undisturbed soil. It’s patented design prevents tree trunk damage and reduces future maintenance costs and liability. Make your landscapes beautiful and safe on Day One! It can be quickly and easily installed by centering the ring over the surface of the root ball then driving the three stakes outside the root ball and into the undisturbed earth below the hole. The resulting underground cage will allow the young roots to develop in a stable environment while holding the transplanted tree upright during high winds.

Project Highlights

 

Eldorado Stone - Casa Bella

Foxwood Builders prides itself on creating beautiful, high performance homes. George and Elizabeth Ruzzier—the driving force behind Foxwood Builders—were ready to take their upcoming project to the next level. They wanted to incorporate stone into the design of the home, but felt limited by the shades of charcoal that colored natural stone from local quarries. As they explored their options, they came across Eldorado Stone. The diverse range of color hues in conjunction with the authenticity of each stone profile solidified their decision to utilize Eldorado’s stone in the design of their project. Applying Autumn Leaf Rough Cut on the exterior of the home and Sierra Mountain Ledge on the fireplace, the Ruzziers created a stunning residence that boasts visual interest with the implementation of texture, color, and natural elements, all of which is amplified by the use of stone.

Project designer Jim Diehl, Vice President of J & S Roofing Technologies, says the church’s eye-grabbing silhouette now has even further standout appeal, thanks to the added dimension and the vibrancy of the four InSpire colors selected by the client: Slate Grey, Charcoal Grey, Red Cedar and Forest Green. “The original roofing was very basic, and didn’t have any pattern to it, or multiple colors,” says Diehl. Now, you have the contrast, you have the texture, you have a roof system that just stands out among others. With multiple colors like these, the result is a beautiful building.” A 4’ x 8’ mock up with the various colors sealed the owner’s selection.

Crafted from strong cellular PVC, Kleer Trimboard comes in a wide array of profiles, a benefit essential to making the Brookline Gambrel home exterior unique, elaborate, and evocative of another era. To re-create “Old World” European-style living in the heart of a modern New England suburb, Brian specified diverse trimboard products, including five distinctive styles of Kleer moulding– Crown, Cove/Scotia, Band, Bed, and Rake. Three Crown Moulding sizes were also needed to finish off the exterior, plus different sizes of Kleer Trimboards as well as Kleer Sheets and Adhesives.
